There's not much left to say about Canada's Olympic team. They announcing the roster Tuesday morning, and people much, much more plugged into the process than I have released their projections. If Bob McKenzie and Darren Dreger say Logan Couture profiles as a top-line left wing and Martin St. Louis as one of the spare forwards, for example, there's ample reason to believe that to be true.

So why not focus on one thing: Who should play with Sidney Crosby? As a hockey fan, this is a wish list. As an American … it's something else entirely. Forget Chris Kunitz, Hockey Canada. If you're looking to bring a Penguins winger to Sochi, Craig Adams is right there.

Anyway, the list. It's absurd that Canada has this many guys (and more) that could conceivably play on the top line, but whatever.

Steven Stamkos: No need to overthink this one. If Stamkos is ready to return from his broken tibia—and at this point, there's no reason to doubt that—he should be on Crosby's right wing. When you can play two generational talents together, you do it. Stamkos plays center for the Tampa Bay Lightning, but his greatest skills remain his shot and his skating. The latter makes him capable of keeping up with Crosby, which isn't easy, and the former makes him terrifying.

Matt Duchene: Speed. Speed. Speed. Speed.

Chris Kunitz: It's getting tougher to argue against bring Crosby's everyday linemate to Sochi—and I've been in that camp all season. In a short tournament, though, it's easy to not want to mess with what clearly already works. Yes, Kunitz benefits greatly from playing with Crosby, but he brings forechecking ability, great hands and hockey sense to the table, and that counts for something. Both guys have 23 goals already. Kunitz has to get credit for at least some of that.

John Tavares: He's not a burner like Stamkos or Duchene, and he's a center by trade, but he's improved his skating enough for it to not count against him in a process like this. Pairing his brain with Crosby's would result in some pretty great stuff.

Corey Perry: If Kunitz doesn't make the team and Mike Babcock wants to replicate some of his contributions, albeit on the right side, Perry would be the guy. Of course, that'd mean taking him away from Ryan Getzlaf, which might not be a great idea.

Jamie Benn: Benn is a versatile player with a ridiculous skillset.

Logan Couture: Couture is a versatile player with a ridiculous skillet.

James Neal: Neal and Crosby ultra-rarely play together at even strength in Pittsburgh; there's enough logic behind that, since Neal and Evgeni Malkin work so well together. But Neal's shot is unbelievable, and he's a strong enough skater to cut across the offensive zone and look Ovechkin-esque. He doesn't seem to be an option, though.

Patrick Sharp: He's playing as well as anyone right now, with 14 goals and seven assists in his last 13 games, and has more than enough experience playing with other elite talent on the Blackhawks. He'd look good on Crosby's left wing.

Rick Nash: For whatever reason, Nash and Crosby didn't click in Vancouver. The assumption was that they would; Nash has most qualities you'd look for in an offensive player. It just didn't work out. Maybe it's worth another shot.

Martin St. Louis: When Crosby went down last season with a broken jaw, St. Louis was the only guy who could overtake him in the points race. He's 38 and likely to make the roster as a spare forward.

P.K. Subban: Is this a joke? Maybe. Maybe it's a joke. But if he makes the team, he'll probably be playing minimally. Juuuust saying.
